Lately I've been reading the very well known Four Hour Work Week ("4HWW") book by Timothy Ferriss and have been inspired by some of the startup stories from Indie Hackers, specifically the clever business called Instapainting started by Chris Chen (https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses/instapainting).<p>I know the 4HWW philosophy DOES NOT actually suggest you should start a business by outsourcing everything, but if you took that mindset from the get-go, could it produce good results?<p>For example, I'll make up a business similar to Instapainting: [BUSINESS PROPOSITION]: Upload a photo and get it custom printed onto a cell phone case and shipped direct to your door. If you took a moment to read about Instapainting in the link above, you'll notice slight differences, in that the people 'producing the product' were actually artists themselves and were fully capable of painting the reproduction. My example is a bit different in that it's someone requiring the equipment to produce the product... probably not the best example but I hope you can see where I was going with it.<p>For this example, a few things are needed: A simple photo uploader + payment processor attached to the form, and a person on your staff that can take the image, create the case, and ship it (or ship to you, and then you ship it [longer delivery time]).<p>I suppose the main point of this post, and the questions I would most appreciate receiving some info/feedback on are:<p>1) What is the best way to go about finding outsourced staff that I can bring on to do the hypothetical case creation for me?<p>2) Where should I be looking to find them?
